Hi all

 

I am relatively new to this forum. What are the procedures for entering the X1 Challenge? For instance where do I load the pictures for the challenge?

 

Good advice will be appreciated

 

Best

 

Knut

Havent posted the rules for the challenge, let alone the title. Guess you beat me to it. Will ask admin for help to change title.

 

Rules as follows:

 

Leica X1 Challenge Rules:

*

Introduction:

*

The X1 Challenge is an occasional competition on the Leica User Forum to celebrate and encourage use of the X1.*

*

This is a test of the skill of photographers worldwide using the same basic camera and getting the best from it. It is open to all Leica User Forum members who own or have use of a Leica X1.

*

Shooting theme and period:

*

In order to participate you should shoot, select and submit an image with a Leica X1 camera, in line with a notified theme within a defined seven to fourteen day period (set by the person setting the theme)* You can take as many photos as you like during that period but you can only enter one.

*

Post processing:

*

All images entered must adhere to Leica User Forum posting rules on dimensions and file size.

*

Participants are encouraged to pre-visualize and preset their cameras and enter an image with the minimum of post processing. Extensive post processing (beyond levels and sharpening) is not within the spirit of the competition. It is not banned, but should be declared at time of posting. Ultimately, the best photographer should win, not the most adept post processor.

*

Entering your image:

*

Select your shot that in your view best matches the theme and post it onto a single thread set up for the purpose by the organizer.*

*

Please give it a title.

*

The thread will be open for postings ONLY but NOT for voting until a declared date to allow all entries to be posted before voting starts. Your entries are not anonymous - feel free to include a short description of/explanation of your image.*

*

Voting:

*

Voting will then be opened. Votes may then be cast on the following basis:

*

Three points for best, two points for second and one point for third, in the format:

*

"Image XXXX - 3 points

Image YYYY - 2 points

Image ZZZZ - 1 point"

*

You MUST cast three votes in total - one or two votes will be regarded as a "spoiled ballot" and not counted in the overall total.

*

Voting runs for two weeks. One vote per member, no voting for your own image.

*

The winner gets the right to set the theme for the next X1 Challenge.

*

 

There'll be prizes for the first challenge and some selected quarterly challenges. Details to be announced later.

 

Also, I 'll finalize the dates by this week.

 

Thanks for your patience everybody.

 

THis is my FIRST attempt at organizing contest, some kind assistance and volunteers will be most appreciated.

 

Cheers,

CJ

What is the theme and where to we post out photos? Thanks.

I would like to participate... but am very likely to never look at this section again unless there starts to be some real action...

When everything is all set maybe we can sticky a shortcut in the x1 forum? It should be fun to see everyone's entries.

Is "harmony" the theme?
